Wildlife photographer Ewan Wilson stumbles across one of the United Kingdoms reptilian oddities, the slow worm. This slithery reptile is often confused with a snake, however its actually a legless lizard and not a snake. This may seem paradoxical but legless lizards that are not snakes are an actual thing.

The photographer moved very slowly whilst filming the reptile as they are easily scared off. This was a difficult feet as the photographer was struggling to contain his excitement.

Snakes and lizards are very different creatures. Small features that are absent from snakes are present in limbless lizards, snakes do not have eyelids or external ears whilst limbless lizards do. And there lifestyles are different as snakes tend to be more ambitious predators and will tackle larger prey, when our slow worm will prey on small insects.
